Teen Kills Baby, Gets No Jail Time
A Nebraska teenager who killed her premature baby girl by tossing the newborn out a second story window was ordered to delete her Facebook account, and somehow avoided jail time. Lopez, 16, was instead ordered to delete her Facebook account, live in a group home, start individual and family therapy and perform 50 hours of community service. The teen was also placed on probation. Lopez admitted in February to throwing her newborn daughter out the window of her Kellom-Knolls Apartment complex on Sept. 30. Police said after the teen committed the crime, she told her mother what she did. Lopez also sent a Snapchat message to her boyfriend informing him that the baby was a girl. Lopez's mom called 911 a little after 4 a.m. the day of the incident and performed CPR on the newborn until paramedics arrived. Both Lopez and the baby were taken to Creighton University Medical Center, where the baby was pronounced dead. An autopsy revealed that the baby girl had suffered bleeding near her brain, skull, abdomen and spine, Omaha World Herald reported. The pathologist also determined that the baby was alive when the incident happened. Lopez had told police that she thought she had given birth to a stillborn. 
WSB-TV Atlanta reported that Lopez was ordered to live in a group home because judges aren't sure she or her family understands the severity of the crime. The teen's lawyer, however, said Lopez does understand and is trying to deal with what happened.
